War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

This is the first full project I did at Weta, and I was involved in developing and supporting the fur asset management system that was used throughout the film. I was also reponsible for setting up and running shot simulation for horses fur and costume , chimp extras fur and costume, Caesar’s neck chain, and crowd chain gang setup.

Horse fur and costume setup and simulation reins and stirrups interaction and simulation with riders.

Caesar’s neck chain setup, simulation, and interaction with other characters.

Chain gang setup, simulation, and interaction. The setup enabled animators to easily specify 2 or 3 connected chimps to chain together, and has flexibility to adjust the length to avoid over stretching.
